15% chance of success or failure.
The transcendent grade “Light of Transcendence” is guaranteed to succeed without a chance, but the semi-legendary grade does have a probability.
Even the core concept of “transcendence” has disappeared.
It seems the performance has downgraded due to the additional crafting…
[15%?]
[Probability lol]
[Is this another gacha?]
[15 means it’s a deal! lol]
[15 means it’s definitely possible! lol]
[Why worry with Kiki around?]
[Lily adds 1.5%!]
“15% shouldn’t be too hard.”
I’ve already broken through the odds of being struck by lightning.
Kiki’s performance clearly shined, crafting additional “Light of Transcendence” and drawing from a random box, pulling the “Celestial Skewers.”
At the time, I thought it was a dud, but it turned out to be good luck as it led to gaining the “Multicolored Successor” from Minoa.
With around 15%, you have to consider it a sure thing.
“Not really.”
“Huh?”
But Drak thought differently.
As I nodded my head, Drak brought a material similar to the “Light of Transcendence” and began hammering it on the anvil.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
It doesn’t change.
No matter how much he hammered, the material remained as it was.
Magic ⊙ Rise | Consumption | Absolute | Bound (Teleportation) | Probability
“The Light of Transcendence is the power of a great being. Having existed since the mythic age, it possesses a strong immutability.”
“…Immutability?”
“Absolute immutability.”
─Kiki?
“What, that strange machine can’t be interrupted?”
I immediately called Kiki over to touch the semi-legendary “Light of Transcendence.”
Ding ding ding~♬
The slot machine spun vigorously, then suddenly made an unpleasant screech… before slowly coming to a halt.
♡7♠
777 didn’t appear.
[?]
[What the hell?]
[This is a transformation!]
[Is it because of the absolute enchant?]
[The absolute is causing this?]
[I gotta break through with a plain 15%! What the heck!]
[No wonder it seemed too easy! lol]
─Kiki? Kiki!
Kiki kept spinning the slot machine as if confused.
However, the probability remained unchanged despite the continuous spins.
‘Absolute.’
A law that moves only as predetermined, impervious to any interference.
Of course, there’s no such thing as “absolute” in this world, so it can’t be said that absoluteness is perfect.
A strong repression can always be pierced by an even stronger one.
But the reason it’s come to this is that Kiki’s power is far weaker than the being that bestowed the “Light of Transcendence.”
‘Kiki’s luck isn’t completely ineffective.’
Judging by the count of matches and probability, it seems the chance is roughly around 20%.
While Kiki’s luck was close to 100%, it still applies, albeit weakly.
But it seems like it’s being applied, albeit weakly.
“Well, it’s about 20% at most. I don’t think it’ll be easy.”
Can we really break through a 1/5 probability and succeed?
Without Kiki, I’m not exactly lucky.
[But still, 20% is a good deal]
[20% isn’t bad]
[Kiki is useless, haha]
[Kiki has officially hit rock bottom]
[If it were Lily, it might be possible]
[Is big lily going to show up?]
[Please, please, please, please]
“First, let’s see what 100% does. I need to know its effects right away.”
I need to know exactly what kind of change the Light of Transcendence will bring to choose the masterpiece for the second enhancement.
For the second, I think there’s a high chance it’ll be the White Guardian, but depending on the performance, I could choose something else.
So the first masterpiece I’ll use is…
“Is it going to be that?”
“Yes.”
[Would you like to use the Light of Transcendence on the ‘Multicolored Successor’?]
It’s the Multicolored Successor.
There are various reasons, but the most important one lies in ‘transcendence.’
“A masterpiece that has the characteristic of calling upon the powers of the Mythical Era.”
If it gets upgraded through the Light of Transcendence, the trial of the Multicolored Successor is likely someone who has given Drak a mission, above anything else.
The one who gave the mission is a being from the Mythical Era and has set something special in place.
One thing I’m worried about is that the Kraken’s trial is still not over, but I don’t think it’ll be a big problem.
The Light of Transcendence is for enhancement.
The rewards obtained are enhanced, not the trials.
“What a good choice. The Multicolored Successor is worth that much.”
“What do you think of the White Guardian?”
“That’s good too, but it doesn’t reach the level of the first. As long as there’s time, the Multicolored Successor can become infinitely stronger.”
“Hmm… understood.”
[The Light of Transcendence seeps into the Multicolored Successor…]
The light seeps in.
As a static light different from when the Light of Transcendence was created envelops the Multicolored Successor, the transformation begins.
Ding!
[Mysterious Power dwells in the Multicolored Successor!]
[The rank of the Multicolored Successor is adjusted from Myth to ‘Transcendent’.]
[A special potential is granted.]
[The number of trials that can be undertaken simultaneously increases from a maximum of 1 to 2.]
“Oh.”
Splash.
[Multicolored Successor ◎■■]
Type ⊙ Accessory | ?
Limit ⊙ Level 80 | All Stats 40
Stats ⊙ Inheritance 9 | □□ 1 | Mana 250
Magic ⊙ Trial | Absolute | Bound | Unique | Transcendence
Special Note ⊙ You can inherit special powers through trials.
“250?”
[Mana 250??]
[250?]
[Are you kidding me, lololololololol]
[Is 250 for real?]
50 Is this for real?]
[Transcendent Geography]
[Isn’t that basically 80-level stats just by wearing that? LOL]
[Crazy]
[What the heck?]
[Two trials?]
[Oh]
I clutch the necklace tightly.
Even I can feel just how abundant the mana is.
If it had landed in Redberry’s or any other mage’s hands, the stats would probably be good enough to aim for the top five.
“Not bad at all. At this level.”
If it were the basic state, an increase in mana wouldn’t mean much, but in my fourth state, I convert all stats into ‘Holy Healing.’
The newly acquired 250 mana is no different.
Activating the fourth state made me feel even more holy power.
I still can’t engage in attack, but I can use it quite meaningfully.
Speaking of which…
“What are you doing?”
“……”
Drak takes a few steps back, quietly observing me.
“…Was this your original form?”
“It hasn’t been long. Is it strange?”
“No, no. Rather than strange…”
Drak hesitates.
He looks quite shocked, but on the other hand, he seems terrified.
It must be quite surprising since it’s the first time he’s seeing me like this since Sugarado.
“You look stronger than I expected.”
“Believe it or not, I can’t attack.”
I can’t deal damage whether I hit or use magic or special techniques.
The only ways to attack are to overload the holy power and explode it or summon someone to attack.
That’s already quite impressive, but it’s more beneficial to just swing in the third state.
“……”
“If you don’t have anything else to say, I’ll be going.”
“Aren’t we progressing here?”
“Enhancing works better on Kiki Island.”
Since we’re enhancing, it’s better to do it on Kiki Island where Kiki’s luck can reach its maximum potential.
I don’t know if it will work well since the dungeon is gone, but the altar and the area itself are still intact.
Creeeak…
As the forge door opens, a cool breeze blows in.
After marking the location with mana, I turned my head.
“Well then, I’ll be off.”
“Wait a moment! Let me send you…”
Catch!
Ignoring Drak’s words as he tries to stop me, I dashed out of the forge and plummeted straight down beneath Sky Island.
Gravity quickly tugged me downward.
[?]
[Lily?]
[Fall!!!]
[Can we get to Kiki Island from here?]
[Aren’t we supposed to return to the continent?]
[Whoa]
[I feel like we need to get back.]
[Didn’t Drak just say he’d send us off?]
[???]
“I didn’t go on purpose.”
Drak’s forge is located on a sky island on a different continent.
That means the land below is an ‘unknown land’ that no user has ever stepped on.
Of course, there must be something mysterious and special there.
Naturally, if I were an ordinary user, I would have fallen to my death due to the high altitude…
Flap.
Wings spread out behind me, slowing my descent.
The clothes that were flapping wildly settle down, and the surrounding scenery is captured by the camera.
There stands a gigantic mountain.
A mountain filled with gray ore veins and hazy stones.
On the mountain, white trees are growing, probably the mystical wood one could acquire.
The mountain is impressively tall and thick, and from afar, it looks like a person sitting and resting.
“… or not.”
Thud thud thud…!
Kuuuu… sniff!
“It’s a real giant?”
A genuine living creature.
A stone creature that’s alive and breathing, albeit sleeping.
“…!”
Suddenly, an immense pressure wraps around my body, crushing me.
I spread my holy aura to shake it off, but it’s overwhelming.
Feeling a sense of alienation, I activate my fourth state and escape the pressure.
As if waiting for this moment, numerous information windows block my view.
[The master of Ertarn, Marble Giant, is currently sleeping.]
[Warning! The master of Ertarn is sleeping. It is recommended not to wake it.]
[Warning! The master of Ertarn does not currently hold hostility.]
[Title awarded, Witness of the Celestial Being.]
[LV. 186]
“A celestial being?”
[?]
[186?]
[Crazy]
[Monthly report???]
[What is this?]
[????????????????]
[Whoa]
[Great Cataclysm monster?]
Is this like the owner of this continent?
Or maybe the owner of this mountain range?
I feel a mix of curiosity and apprehension at the emergence of a far stronger monster than I thought, and I slowly land back on the ground.
Thud.
[The Ertarn denies entry to the unchosen.]
[The Holy Seal of Ertarn does not exist.]
[You are expelled.]
“Huh?”
I returned back to my original continent.
